"On Wednesday, the Governors of the Waterford County and City
Infirmary met for, amongst other purposes to elect a Resident Surgeon in
succession to Dr. Wyatt, who is going shortly to take up a highly important
appointment at Madam Stevens Hospital, Dublin. The Master, Mr. John A. Tobin,
presided, and there was a good attendance of members, including the Bishops
Sheehan and O'Hara. The proceedings were held with closed doors, as far as the
Press were concerned, but we have been since informed that there were six
candidates, the name of only one transpiring through our informant. He was the
successful man, Dr. Egan of Dungarvan. We regret that we are not in a position
to supply further particulars as to the appointment, which is of so much
importance to the City and County of Waterford"

"In connection with the appointment of a Resident Surgeon for the City and
County Infirmary, as we have already mentioned, Dr. Egan of Dungarvan was
appointed. There were six applications for the position and curiously enough one
of the aspirants to the appointment was Dr. Gardiner of Dungarvan. We
congratulate Dr. Egan upon his appointment, and we are sure that he will
discharge the onerous duties imposed upon him with a credit to his profession
and to the important institution of which he is now in charge."

LATE MR DAVID EGAN BALLYGEGAN

"The untimely demise of this young gentleman, which occurred
after a comparatively brief illness on Sunday night, was learned with keen
regret in and around Dungarvan where he was deservedly held by all creeds and
classes in the highest esteem. To know him was indeed to like him - he was
a handsome young man of fine physique, and possessed a bright, genial but
unassuming disposition which endeared him to a host of friends who condole and
sympathise with his respected mother and brothers and other members of the
family in their sad bereavement. He was brother of Dr. Egan, who up to
quite recently, when he secured a better appointment, was Resident Surgeon at
the Waterford City and County Infirmary and a cousin to the Rev. L. Egan, C.C.
Ballybricken, Waterford and Mr. Patrick Egan, Ballyharahan. The funeral,
which took place to the Parish Church, Dungarvan, was very largely attended, and
of a thoroughly representative character, indicating the high and deserved
esteem in which the deceased was generally held. After Office and High
Mass on Tuesday the remains were interred in the cemetery of the Parish Church.

The following wreaths were sent:- From mother and Pat; from
Bill; with deepest sorrow, from the servants at Ballygegan; with deepest sorrow
from his old loving servant, Tom Barron; with deepest sympathy and regret, from
Denis Fitzgerald; from Aunt Alice; with deepest sympathy to dear David, from Mr.
and Mrs. Wall and family; in loving memory, from Mrs. Walsh, Annie and Mattie;
with deepest sympathy to dear David, from his loving friends, M. Stokes and M.
Wall; with sincere sorrow, from Mrs. O'Shea and family; with deep sympathy from
J. R. and Mrs. J. R. Dower."

DUNGARVAN DISPENSARY

LATE MR. DAVID EGAN.

"The chairman referred in sympathetic terms to the untimely
demise of Mr. David Egan, of Ballygegan, and said he regretted to be the medium
of moving a resolution of condolence and sympathy with Mrs. Egan and family in
their sad bereavement. He proposed- That we, the members of Dungarvan
Board of Guardians, have learned with regret of the death of Mr. David Egan,
Ballygegan, and we beg to tender to his mother and to the other members of his
family, our sincere sympathy in their affliction.

Mr. Walsh seconded the resolution, and said he knew the late
Mr. Egan who was a most unassuming and kind hearted young man. It was he
added, a great affliction to loose such a fine young man in the prime of life.

Mr. Power- I wish to join in this vote of condolence with
Mrs. Egan and Dr. Egan. I knew the late Mr. David Egan and he was a most
estimable and promising young man, and certainly his death has dealt a very
severe blow to his bereaved mother and brothers. Everyone feels very
keenly the great affliction that has come upon the family.

Mr. O'Connor also alluded in feeling terms to the death of
Mr. Egan, who they all knew was an excellent young man. He had come from a
most respectable family on both sides, and was always generous, charitable and
kind hearted.

Mr. McCarthy said he also wished to associate himself with
the resolution, and endorsed the remarks of those who had spoken on the sad
occasion.

The resolution was passed in silence. The board then
adjourned. "
